5. Stakeholder buy-in and ownership
Interactive
Process An
Collaboration
Multi-stakeholder ownership
Distributed workload
Appropriate tools
Ripple effect
Creating the Toolbox and its components in collaboration with national partners spreads the ownership of the Toolbox beyond the UN
With more involvement from different parties it lessens the workload per person
Since national partners helped create many of the tools, they are more useful to them
As a consequence, they will naturally use the tools more frequently
Ripple effect
National partners will continue to promote and use the Toolbox with their own partners and implementers
Increasing the number of users and contributors
An interactive process
Users are also contributors
The Toolbox is a place to promote successful programmes and policies as well as learn from the experience of others
Stakeholder buy-in and ownership

6. The future of the Youth Policy Toolbox
Demographic dividend
ECA & ESCAP joint project
Build on the Toolbox
Gender
Education and employment
The website will continue to be actively developed and used as part of a joint ECA and ESCAP project on harnessing the demographic dividend with a focus on the gender dimension
Rather than creating an entirely new online platform, the UN will further develop the Toolbox, adding more resources specifically relevant to the demographic transition in Africa and Asia and the Pacific
Just as the SDGs are interlinked, so is all of our work
Youth employment and education are key components to enabling countries to benefit from their demographic dividend
